If you install a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant
oil from the removed compressor and measure its volume. Subtract
the volume of drained oil from the original compressor oil capacity.
The result is the amount of oil you should drain from the new
compressor (through the suction fitting)

B. |
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and
apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them.
Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.

C. |
To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container
once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
|
D. |
Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the
container and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
